STUDIES OF AIRBORNE INSECTS IN THE ATMOSPHERE.

Abstract

A resume of work completed to January 1969 is presented. Two major cruises were taken aboard ships in the Pacific during 1969-70 to continue the program of trans-oceanic dispersal of insects. Arthropod specimens trapped, spores recovered, equipment used, ocean areas sampled and the contribution of a member of the U. S. Coast Guard are all presented. (Author)
